The entry for this race was much the same, though a number of Porsche 934’s were racing at the Nürburgring this weekend - for the Euro GT championship. Porsches “flatnose” was temporarily replaced by a normal one.
A surprising third on the grid was the Lancia turbo, outpacing the BMW’s. The Schnitzer-BMW 2002 Turbo, sold to Italy, broke its crankshaft after only seven laps in practice.

The Porsches took the lead, the works car in front of course, while the Lancia settled for third - and was promoted to second when the Kremer car broke its gearbox. But after two hours, the Lancia befell the same fate as the Kremer Porsche - its gearbox broke.

The only further excitement took place at the Schnitzer pits: the coupé, which had taken over second, lost a wheel after a tire change had given problems - the nut did not want to come loose. The amount of force needed to persuade the nut to give up, probably damaged the suspension.
